Louise Eaton Hogg
Louise Eaton Hogg of Hermitage went to be with the Lord on Friday.
Louise was born in Titusville on Aug. 26, 1922, the daughter of the late Harry James Eaton and Alliene Harrison Eaton.
She graduated from Warren Area High School in 1940 and Hoff Business College in Warren, Pa., in 1941.
She married John H. Hogg on May 24, 1942, at her parents’ home in Warren before John’s departure for World War II. They remained devoted to each other until John’s death in 2004.
The couple built their dream home in Oil City after John’s return from the war. There they raised five children, Kathryn (Tom) Thompson of Shenandoah Junction, W.Va., Rebecca (Fred) Pierce-Ruhland of Kingsville, Ohio, Nancy (David) Roddy of Beaver Falls, Pa., Robert (Cecilia) Hogg of Oil City and Jeffrey (Patricia) Hogg of Butler.
Louise spent her life as a loving mother and a proud homemaker. While living in Oil City, she and John were active members of Oil City Grace United Methodist Church.
A quote from Louise’s journal, written in 1999: “The most wonderful gift I could receive? The gift of love from each of my children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Love comes from the heart.”
She loved the Lord Jesus Christ. This love for God was evident in her always cheerful attitude, the gracious and kind manner she showed to everyone, her devotion and unwavering loyalty to her husband, and the way she loved her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren with her whole heart.
Louise loved music and enjoyed playing the piano by ear. Her favorite songs were the old Gospel hymns. She also loved animals and wildlife. For many years, she delighted in feeding the birds. Gardening was one of her favorite pastimes during warm months of the year, and flowers frequently graced her home.
Her home was always a place of warmth, good food and laughter. One of Louise’s other passions was her continual support to build the World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C., which she had the privilege to visit in 2005.
John and Louise relocated to Grove City in 1978, and were members of the Grace United Methodist Church in Grove City until Louise moved to Hermitage in 2006.
Louise is survived by all five of her children; her 10 grandchildren; her 24 great-grandchildren; and numerous nieces and nephews.
Louise is the last survivor of her immediate family, preceded in death by her parents, and her sisters, Frances Larson, Alliene Correll and her youngest sister, Dixie Weldon, who passed away just seven weeks ago.
